Last night, Gab posted a screenshot of a notification from Joyent, which says that it “received notice of breach of the Joyent Terms of Service,” and that it would suspend the site as of 9:00AM ET on Monday, October 29th. Gab says that it will “likely be down for weeks because of this,” and that it is working on a solution.

Breaking:
@joyent, Gab’s new hosting provider, has just pulled our hosting service. They have given us until 9am on Monday to find a solution. Gab will likely be down for weeks because of this. Working on solutions. We will never give up on defending free speech for all people.

Later that evening, Gab posted a second notification: Stripe says that it has suspended the site’s account while it conducts an investigation, saying that Gab has “not provided us sufficient evidence that Gab actually prevents violations of our policies in your Gab Pro service, or any other portion of your service that relies on Stripe for monetization.” Stripe estimates that its investigation conclude within a week.

Gab has already been booted from other major platforms: Apple and
Google
have either prevented the site from releasing its app on their mobile stores, while earlier this summer, Microsoft threatened to drop its hosting
if the site didn’t remove a pair of anti-Semitic posts within 48 hours. Last night, Gab said that it expected
to be banned by Facebook and Twitter “soon.”

We’ve reached out to Microsoft, Stripe, and Joyent for comment, and will update this post if we hear back.
